have you tried ebay? lots of chinese sellers there sell replacement fans for cheap. i bought a replacement fan for a 6770 for $4 shipped, works great. It wasnt the exact same model fan as what was in there before, but it was the same diameter, depth, fan blades, and 2 pin power connector.
This one is 92mm, but only 15mm deep, not 25mm. also mighting holes might be wrong, i dont know

this one is 92mm diameter and 25mm deep, might be compatible

Anybody pull their fans off their 5830s to do water cooling? Make me a reasonable offer? Preferrably in USD but will do BTC.
Thanks!

No, it's not reasonable. I have got a few of these things (Sapphire 5830 & 5850, different fans) here from local market in Beijing, each for ¥50 (~US$8). You can find the same fans in less than half the price in Shenzhen. Just search Taobao. I am current using a water cooling solution that costs only ¥160 for my 5870s, and it works just fine. But I don't think a 5830 worths a water cooling.
Sorry, out of context. What I was hoping was that someone ELSE had taken THEIR fans off their 5830s to do water cooling, and maybe had those extra fans laying around and wanted to make me a reasonable offer to sell them to me.
As far as the local Beijing markets - I'm out of luck there, as I am in the States. I'm also in an area where the only thing CLOSE to a PC components store is a Best Buy. And I'm thinking they aren't going to have one of these in stock.
I'll probably try to retrofit someone like mc_lovin is working on... I'll post picks as well when I get something figured out.
Also... unless I add a 4th card to this rig this suggestion might work:
This is what I need:

Only place I've found them so far is direct from China.

$28.00 + $28 for shipping. Crazy!!

since I have a 5830 here that needed the same treatment, I proceeded to change the fan. The only 92mm fan I had was an Antec 3-speed, which is allllmost what the 5830 wants but it still got into the 80's so I had to find another fan.. and then I found this tiny little screamin' fan, I think it's like a 2" from a server, and I mounted that on the heatsink array as well and it's doing a great job! 2 fans + an hour of time = problem solved! I'll post a pic of it as soon as I can.
Ha! That's funny because I already removed the shroud for better cooling and to get at the fan (to get the part numbs, etc. )
I'll give that a go If I can find the right size fan laying around here....
Absolutely Wrong Fan. The pics I sent are identical to the fan I pulled off the card.

I have a better solution. What I did with a 4770 and a 6870 when the fans died, is I took off the plastic shroud (you have to take the whole cooler off) and then reattach the heatsink without the fan, so it's just a big heatsink. Then you can zip-tie an 80mm or 92mm fan to it, and you'll find the card runs at like 50 degrees now, total upgrade! And it doesn't cost anything!
28,- for shipping is &%&$&, i pay for a standard shipping from China about 2-3$

So 28$ is absolutely No-Go.
I don't think that's the right fan? That looks like a reference one.http://www.ebay.de/itm/110855041517?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1697wt_905

I just want to show that shipping from China is not that expensive.

we need one or two of those as well, i think if we can get an order together we might be able to reduce costs.
This is what I need:
